"Though I do not have any statistics and I am not familiar with American high school culture, I believe that not many homosexuals are romantically/sexually active in high school. People in this age are still discovering these things, and I don't think that most of the homosexuals fully realize what their orientation is like."
Two things:
1. Yes they are sexually active. They just have to be more discrete.
2. You don't "discover" that you're gay any more than you "discover" that you're straight, and if it does happen it happens before high school. I can think of things going back to third grade that pointed towards me being gay. Now, whether people choose to accept their sexual orientation is a different matter.

However, the culture I live in revolts around straight relationships, and there's just no place for homosexuality, except of maybe designating some people as "them", in contrast to "us". It sucks, but it is the reality. Children growing in this kind of society come to think that being straight is "default". That's why I do not think that situation is symmetrical -- it takes more effort to acknowledge that you are gay than that you are straight in this kind of culture.
